Visas – If the presenting author is likely to require visa to attend the conference, you should allow plenty of time to arrange it. If you inform us that you will require a visa, and send your full paper for review as soon as possible after the abstract has been selected, we will do all we can to get the reviewer comments back to you quickly. Please see our visa information page for more details.

Due to the large number of papers received for the conferences, authors are only allowed to present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for presentation different co-authors need to present each paper. Author registration must be completed by 28 July 2011 and there are special discounts available for earlybird registration and group bookings, including a special reduced rate for supervisors and students attending together.
